Those will let you solve any camber, caster, or toe issue on the rear suspension. They'll also make a lot more road noise invade the cabin since they are not rubber bushed. Still, if you want adjustability, these are very difficult to beat. If they made an adjustable front upper control arm, you could solve a lot of suspension geometry issues with the ISx line.

Megan is known for not having rubber on there springs and arms. Thats the bad side of Megan racing. They still make good parts for a cheap price.

Please do a little research before you post poorly informed opinions such as this....

Actually that is a good thing. That is if you want your suspension to work to the best of its ability, hard bushings or spherical bearings reduce unwanted deflection in the suspension parts.
But it does dramatically increase noise as Lobux stated....

Rubber bushings = great for street quiet - bad for consistent alignment settings

Solid bushings/bearings = horrible for street quiet - incredible for consistent alignment settings.

What do you want to do? Go fast? Solid bushings. Take your GF on a date in the car and actually hear what she has to say? Rubber bushings.

The AWD already has adjustable camber from the factory. These links are only for the rear wheels. The front is still locked in place. If you want to put these on your AWD, nothing is stopping you, but unless you need more adjustment than the factory delivers, you don't need them.

FYI: theres a company on my.is trying to make a camber kit for the ISx50. They need a test car, if you really want/need the kit i suggest you go to the forums and see whats involved etc..

If you are lowering the car, it will give you the ability to adjust camber, caster, and toe in the rear of the car so you are not forced to run more camber than is necessary and so you can adjust for minimum tire wear.

Guys these are great, But good luck finding a good suspension tech to get the settings right. You better bring your own knowledge of suspension tuning and settings before you make an appt. Better off stopping by a Nascar shop to have it done. Here in the south I can't think of any other place that could handle it unless I did it myself at Lexus like the last two alignments.
